You and around 3 million people, a third of them normal people and the other 2 thirds soldiers, were chosen to go to a planet that was habitable for humans and animals. There's more coming, but you volunteered to be chosen for exploring the world. You're alone in the forest, when you see something swinging tree to tree. You believe it's an alien species, and you were right. But it isn't green like the movies, and there's no zappers on it.
You're hit right in the face with a stick as the creature is still swinging around. Then it falls right ontop of you. You finally realize that it's one of the species that you were informed about on your flyer. All you could read is "Sharpie" with the picture of the creature, before it snatches the flyer and stares at it in astonishment.
The Sharpie looks excited when turning each page, like it's looking at the photos and knows all of them. The Sharpie stares at you, and back at the flyer, before getting off of you. It doesn't speak or seem to know english, so its best not to try to talk to it verbally.
